Reminds me of a story: My father's parents were Lithuanian, so I have their surname, but I am American. In 2011 I had a Russian visa for a short trip to Moscow.

Reminds me of a story: My father's parents were Lithuanian, so I have their surname, but I am American. In 2011 I had a Russian visa for a short trip to Moscow. They transliterated my name in a way that I don't think a Lithuanian travelling to Russia would have. Notably, Š was С and not Ш because the diacritic obviously won't appear on my US passport. I think they also had И where I might have put Й.
